Her Strange Actions.

Her Strange Actions.
| London Standard.
The amphitheater of the Charlie Hos
pital in Paris was On October 10
crowded with persons who had been in
vited to witness the experiments Of hyp
notism made by Dr.. Luys, member of the
Academy of Medicine and doctor at the
Salpetriere. Before introducing Mile
Esther, his subject, the doctor showed
his auditors Photographs illustrating the
effects produced on her in his laboratory
Mile Esther was brought forward.
BY the means of magnetic passes the
doctor throws her from state of lethar-
gy into cataleptic condition, and then
into state of lucid somnabulism. DR.
Luys placed tube containing hsshish on
her sneck, and she seemed ainstently to
feel the effect Of the narcotic preparation.
She assumed natural air and soon went
straight toward DR.. Rsclus, who was pres
ent and proposed to perform the
| "Msscotte" with him. The doctor was
rather annoyed by the preference shown
| him by Mile Esther, so Dr.. Luys diverted
her attention from him to Dr.. SECOND,
| who consented 10 play the part OF "Pip-
po," wolfe Mile Esther took that OF the
HMascotte." He sat down beside her,
whereupon she promptly kissed him.
NOW sing" said DR.. Luys, holding the
tube to her eek, and she began at once,
stopping short when the tube was with
drawn.
DR.. Luys then begged DR.. Reclus to
place himself behind the young woman,
and to put the tube on her neck and then
gradually take it away. Mile. Esther
begsn agsin to sing; but in proportion as
the tube was taken further and further
from her, her voice became fainter and
fainter till ii died away entirely. She
then fell, in cataleptic condition, into
the arms of the hospital attendants who
were behind her.
DR.. Luys made other experiments upon
Mile Esther. By looking at her he made
her follow with her eyes an imaginary
bird in the air, and at last she thought
she had caught it in her hands. Then, by
making her look down, the doctor
frightened her by making her imagine
there was q serpent at her feet.
The most remarkable display was WREN
DR.. Luys placed tube containing ten
grammes of essence Of thyme on Mile
Esther's neck. In 8 few moments her
face became purple, her arms and hands
stiff, and the neck swelled out in g most
extraordinary manner. From thirty-one
centimeters it grew by the contraction
of the muscles TO thirty-fve.
The suffering seemed to DE intense, and
when the tube was taken away the patient
was two minutes ct least before returning
to state OF lethsrgy. Dr.. Luys has for
many years been stadying hypnotism, and
no one can for moment imagine there is
anything like charlatanism in his expert
ments.

WHY HE LOCATED.

Mr.. A. p. Van Deusen was in the city
yesterday to secure a stock of general mer-
chandise for store to be established in
Wichita. Concerning the prospects OF that
town, Mr.. Van Deusen said:
Il think enou n of it to leave Minneapo-
lis and transfer my entire interests to
Wichita. Last spring was in the town
and invested $3.50 in a number of lots
about two and half miles north of the
court house Last November l sold this
property for 81, 200. and If had it now
would moi take 81 900 for it. Lots two
miles from the business section bring from
$50 to So foot, and this in ready money
that is to say. half cash and the
rest in one or two years, the usual terms of
sale in Wichita Four or five weeks ago
an inside lot, sixty feet front, In the heart
of the city, brought $45 600. and under
stand that even larger prices have been re-
fused for other properly. People under
stand how to make their property available.
In several instances the owners Of land
which lay on the wrong side Of the river
have built handsome bridges and promised
to keep them in order. thus obtaining large
prices for property which would otherwise

With sorrows wild refrain.
